This was my first Gold level award that was actually assigned! The other’s I’ve done, I was requested, but the Signit didn’t reach out to me initially. So this is kind of a big deal for me. I’ve been wanting to do another German style scroll for a while now. As luck would have it, […]
So, I found out the hard way that I didn’t have a current snapshot of the server this site is hosted on after we had a power outage. I lost about 3 months of various posts. I’ll be re-posting the scrolls, but other posts are lost. So please bare with me as I try […]
I love doing scrolls for friends, and getting a bunch of friends toghether makes it all the better! Lorita had approached me for the calligraphy over EK 50. We then went over to Aislinn for wording ideas as she’d submitted the request. While hashing out ideas, Aislinn idelly mumbled a “There was once a Laird […]
So a good friend reached out to me and asked if I’d like to do a Maunche for her Apprentice. I think I said yes before I realized what she was asking. Once the decision was official, the research began. I messaged Ástríðr’s husband for ideas, found out more about her persona, and it all […]
So this started out as another team up for a fellow concordian. It wasn’t until I started working on this scroll that I realized that he was Ástríðr’s husband! I had the privlidge of doing scrolls for a couple that I knew! Words by Lorita: Great Brennan, Emperor so fierce and bold, and Caoilfhionn, Empress […]
This was a fun one! As I started digging to see what I could do for Illumination and style, I found out that Symon is a fellow member of the Webministry, on the Kingdom level. Because the idea was a little… “out there” I ran the idea by the submitter, who ran it by Symon’s […]
Baroness Lylie of Penhyll reached out to me for her Barons write! I was beside myself with glee. As writs are supposed to be kept simple, I really couldn’t add any illumination. I’d have to rely on the text and while Textura Quadrata is flourishing, I could not help but add my own touch of […]
I was pretty jazzed when I was approached for this one. James “Hawk”, has been a good friend of the family for a while. I was a little surprised that Hawk didn’t already have this award. Reaching out to the point of contact for additional information was a blast. He spun a great tale of […]
Words: Greetings unto the populace of the East. Pay heed all who hear these words that Ivan and Matilde, Tsar and Tsaritsa of the East have heard great tales of the service of Francisco de Braga. At Novice Schola, long hours did he spend in their Majesties’ kitchen, making ready the pots and pans for […]
Another beautiful collaboration with Lisa Cotton! She’d posted on the EK Scribe site in a panic, looking for a scribe to do calligraphy. Because I’ll also be going to the event it’s to be delivered to, I offered to help. The fact that the source was written in Textura Quadrata gave me confidence that I […]
